Electronic device with cable management apparatus

Abstract

An electronic device includes an enclosure and a cable management apparatus. The enclosure includes a bottom wall. A printed circuit board is secured to the bottom wall. The printed circuit board includes a connector. The cable management apparatus includes a first plate and a second plate. The cable managing apparatus is mounted on the printed circuit board. The second plate is located above the connector. A cable channel is surrounded by the first plate and the second plate.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic device, comprising:
 an enclosure comprising a bottom wall, a printed circuit board secured to the bottom wall, the printed circuit board comprising a connector; and   a cable management apparatus comprising a first plate and a second plate, the cable managing apparatus mounted on the printed circuit board, the second plate located above the connector, and a cable channel surrounded by the first plate and the second plate.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure further comprises a first sidewall connected to the bottom wall, the first sidewall comprises a flange, and the second plate abuts the flange. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the first plate is perpendicularly connected to the second plate, and the first plate abuts one side of the connector. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , wherein the first plate defines a cutout, and the cutout communicates with the cable channel. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein a securing piece extends from a bottom edge of the first plate, the securing piece defines a securing hole, the printed circuit board defines a mounting hole, the securing hole is aligned to the mounting hole, and a screw is secured in the mounting hole and the securing hole. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 5 , wherein an insulating piece is sandwiched between the securing piece and the printed circuit board. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein a through hole is defined in the insulating piece, and the screw is inserted through the through hole. 
     
     
         8 . An electronic device, comprising:
 an enclosure comprising a bottom wall and a sidewall connected to an edge of the bottom wall, a printed circuit board located on the bottom wall, the printed circuit board comprising a connector which is located adjacent the sidewall; and   a cable management apparatus comprising a first plate and a second plate, the first plate defining a cutout, the cable managing apparatus mounted on the printed circuit board, a cable channel surrounded among the sidewall, the first plate, and the second plate, the cable channel located above the connector, the cable channel communicating with the cutout.   
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 8 , wherein the sidewall comprises a flange, and the second plate abuts the flange. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 9 , wherein the first plate is perpendicularly connected to the second plate, and the first plate abuts one side of the connector. 
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 8 , wherein a securing piece extends from a bottom edge of the first plate, the securing piece defines a securing hole, the printed circuit board defines a mounting hole, the securing hole is aligned to the mounting hole, and a screw is secured in the mounting hole and the securing hole. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein an insulating piece is sandwiched between the securing piece and the printed circuit board. 
     
     
         13 . The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein a through hole is defined in the insulating piece, and the screw is extended through the through hole.
